Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 418 The Net Is Closed

"Leng Yuchan" was obviously very nervous. She could do nothing but hold on to Yang Yuan's handle.

Yang Yuan was slightly startled, then he knew who she was.

Given the scale of his holdings and the fact that Leng Yuchan is willing to "switch things" for her, who else could it be other than Xiao Zhuzhu?

"Xiaochan." Yang Yuan called deliberately gently.

"Xiaochan" hummed softly and didn't dare to answer too clearly.

Yang Yuan said: "You are tired too, and it is getting late, so let's forget about 'Diao Chan Worshiping the Moon' and 'Peach Blossoms with a Human Face' today.

How about we first do 'climbing up to a rich man', then 'the man tills the field while the woman weaves', and then we can 'return home together as a couple'?"

"Xiaochan" panicked. I don't understand. I don't know anything. Yuchan never taught me. What kind of heavenly book is this? What should I do...

Fortunately, Yang Yuan began to guide her actively after he finished speaking, and she just had to follow his instructions.

And she is a very smart girl and is very good at understanding the leader's intentions.

After a long time, she finally got her reward. She stretched out her arms, hugged Yang Yuan tightly, rested her sweaty forehead on his chest, and gasped heavily.

The light suddenly came on, and Leng Yuchan, wearing a soft silk nightgown and holding a candle, slowly walked out of the bathroom.

"ah!"

Xue Bingxin, who had not yet figured out how to face Yang Yuan and how to confess her identity to him, suddenly buried her head in Yang Yuan's arms, and her cheeks suddenly became hot.

"This...what's going on? You are Miss Xue!"

Since the girls like playing games, Yang Yuan doesn't mind cooperating with them. This is what is called fun.

Then he sat up with a look of astonishment.

Xue Bingxin, who had lost her shelter, hurriedly pulled the quilt over her feverish face.

"Yuchan? Bingxin, what's going on here?"

Xue Bingxin's muffled voice came from inside the quilt: "I...I have signed the IOU. If I can't pay back Erlang's loan, I will...I will pay it back with my body."

Yang Yuan really didn't know about the IOU.

He glanced at Leng Yuchan in confusion.

Leng Yuchan held a candle in one hand and handed a promissory note to Yang Yuan with the other, saying with a smile, "Here, I told you to take a look at it at the time, but you signed it without even looking at it."

Yang Yuan unfolded the IOU and took a few glances at it, and indeed found that Leng Yuchan had set a trap in it.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but glare at Leng Yuchan.

He was just feeling proud of himself for having dug a trap early on and buried the bomb of Shanyin Military Commander Chu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yuchan had already tricked him into a trap.

Although he was plotted against, he was willing to do it and felt both pain and happiness.

Xue Zhuzhu is in pain, but he is happy.

"Hey!"

Yang Yuan pulled the quilt but failed to open it.

Yang Yuan slapped the bulge through the quilt and asked, "Why can't you pay your debt? You have a 100% stake in the jewelry store, so you must be making a lot of money, right?"

Leng Yuchan rolled her eyes. She could see Yang Yuan's expression.

So how could she not know that Yang Yuan was taking advantage of the situation and teasing the poor little piglet.

Xue Bingxin buried her head in the quilt and said sullenly, "I...I played 'Leaf Cards' and lost all my savings...and shares to Xiaochan."

Huh? This reason is very strong.

Moreover, Yang Yuan knew clearly that she was making up an excuse, but he was happy to accept it.

Yang Yuan sighed heavily and said with emotion: "How could it be like this! Why is it so?
If you had told me earlier, I would have written off the account. Now... Alas!

In this case, our debt is written off!"

Leng Yuchan looked at the bastard acting there and really wanted to stretch out her long legs and kick him.

Yang Yuan said, "Now, your debt has been repaid. Miss Xue, you may go now."

"what?"

Xue Bingxin, who was feeling both shy and happy under the quilt, suddenly lifted the quilt and her face turned pale.

Then, she saw Yang Yuan coming in with a wicked smile on his face. She wanted to hide under the quilt again, but it was too late.

The quilt was covered, and two people were hiding inside it.

Then, the corner of the quilt was suddenly lifted, and Yang Yuan's voice came out from it: "That evil loan shark, why don't you come here quickly and bow down to apologize to my young lady Xue!"

Leng Yuchan chuckled and placed the candle on the table.

As her nightgown slid down to the floor, she also slid smoothly into the quilt.

This quilt is big enough...

……

Shanyin Military Commander Chu Yuan was captured and taken to Lin'an, and imprisoned in the Imperial City Prison.

Until this point, the Qin family still didn't know about the events that had taken place in Shanyin.

The Qin family was ordered to observe mourning at home, and there were soldiers "protecting" them outside the mansion, so they could not contact the outside world.

Qin Hui's ability was too weak, and the Qin faction had no confidence in him at all.

Therefore, after Wanqi Xie became the prime minister, they decisively accepted Wanqi Xie as Qin Hui's successor.

With the death of Qin Hui, the Qin family has been abandoned by them.

Those who can abandon the Qin family at any time are mainly officials in the Taijian system.

Because it is difficult to find direct evidence of their guilt. After all, as censors, they are responsible for supervising and impeaching officials.

However, it is difficult for some officials to distance themselves from the Qin family.

For example, Lin Yifei, who has now become a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and Shrines.

Ever since the Qin family was obviously under control, he had been in a state of panic.

However, he has a family and a business, where can he escape to?
The people in the Ministry of Rites discovered that their new doctor of the Ministry of Shrines, who was high-spirited at the beginning, soon became absent-minded and full of worries.

And this transformation began on the Lantern Festival.

From that day on, the doctor of the Ministry of Shrines became taciturn. After his shift every day, he would sit in the signing room and sit there blankly for the whole day.

Everyone knew that he was Qin Hui's man, but others could not understand why he was so scared and panicked.

When Qin Hui was in power, there were many officials who fawned on him and obeyed his orders.

He was the prime minister that the government relied on the most, and he was the sole prime minister, the only one who was the head of all officials.

As long as Qin Hui has not committed any extremely serious crimes, what can the court say even if it wants to settle accounts with him?

Is it possible that all those who have flattered Qin Hui or obeyed his orders should be dismissed?
That's impossible. If that happens, most of the court and local areas will be emptied!
Qin Hui has been the prime minister for eighteen years. Are there still a few officials in the court and the localities who have no connection with him at all?

The emperor had just ascended the throne and would never do anything that would undermine his foundation.

Look at Zhang Mi, the former president of the Privy Council, who is now serving as the magistrate of the Northern Court in Lin'an Prefecture, and he is doing his job with great vigor and vitality.

He wasn't afraid of being implicated at all.

He had given gifts to the Qin family.

Qin Hui asked his son Qin Hui to compile the national history, and he indeed did his best to cooperate.

But Qin Hui was the prime minister appointed by you personally. You, the emperor, always praised Qin Hui for his great contributions and kept bestowing favors and rewards on the Qin family. You even conferred the title of a lady of honor on a ten-year-old girl from the Qin family.

I am just a small official. I obey the orders of the prime minister appointed by you and respect and be close to the prime minister you respect and value. Isn't this the duty of a minister?

Even if the court wanted to settle accounts with him, it could only find another excuse and could not use the Qin Hui incident to severely punish him.

Not only because he had his good reasons, but also because there were too many officials like Zhang Mi.

The law serves those in power, and “the law does not hold everyone responsible” is often a helpless choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

If the base of this "masses" is large enough, then what needs to be modified is the "law" rather than the "masses".

No matter how sacred you hold the Dharma, this is the reality.

However, Lin Yifei obviously did not belong to that "crowd".

Everyone was curious and waiting for Lin Yifei's result.

On this day, the result finally came.

The Dali Temple sent officials, who first went to see the Minister of Rites Qu Mo. After a while, they came out and went to the Ministry of Shrines to take Lin Yifei away.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites discovered that when Lin Yifei was taken away, he showed a relaxed look that he had not seen for a long time.

It seemed that his heart, which was under great pressure, finally calmed down and was relieved when the result came out...

……

Lin Yifei knew what it meant to be publicly taken away by the Dali Temple.

He knew very well that he had nowhere to escape. In the past three months, he had hidden and transferred his family property as much as possible.

As his crime was so serious, it was inevitable that his family would be exiled and placed under house arrest.

Therefore, I am afraid that the family will not be able to use these transferred and hidden money for a long time.

But at least he left his family with a thought.

As for himself, he knew very well that his life had come to an end.

Lin Yifei was taken to the Dali Temple, and under the high screen wall, he saw Qin Hui who had just been brought in by the official.

On the screen wall is a mighty mythical beast: Xiezhi.

Xiezhi is a mythical beast, shaped like a Qilin, with a single horn on its forehead. It can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty from treachery.

A few months ago, the two were still full of vigor and vitality.

One is the prime minister of the dynasty, aiming at the future;
With a pen in hand, he writes down the past.

But now, they have become a pair of prisoners in the Dali Temple.

A man with gray hair,
A white head like frost.

Three months ago, their hair was as black as ink.

When their eyes met, they were both filled with emotion.

Serious criminals like these should not be allowed to meet each other, let alone talk.

Therefore, when the officials saw the two of them meet, they immediately took them away from the left and right sides of the screen wall respectively.

Lin Yifei staggered as he was dragged, but suddenly he struggled to his feet, turned around and shouted, "Boyang, the man is about to die!
Yifei still has one thing that is unclear, please tell me, Boyang! Yifei, is he the biological son of Prime Minister Qin?"

After all, Qin Hui was once the prime minister of the dynasty and had a noble status. The officials did not push him too hard, so his demeanor was relatively calm.

After hearing what Lin Yifei said, Qin Hui was startled, then he smiled bitterly and answered loudly: "I don't know either. But, in my opinion, it should not be."

His basis was that Qin Hui had been working hard to pave the way for his future.

If Lin Yifei is really Qin Hui's biological son, even if Qin Hui was once henpecked and now even the emperor is afraid of him, why would he be afraid of Wang, the former prime minister?

Then he would definitely let Lin Yifei return to his ancestral home and give him strong support.

Qin Hui said sadly: "Brother Shengqing, if you don't believe it, go ask my father yourself in the underworld!"

After hearing this, Lin Yifei's face turned pale. This time, even his heart was dead.

Lin Yifei stopped struggling and was taken away by the officer.

In front of the Xiezhi looking at the wall, a human figure suddenly appeared.

But after a moment, three more figures appeared.

The three men were dressed in green tights, with hoods covering their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and had long swords on their waists.

One of them spoke loudly in Japanese in a hoarse male voice.

The guards in front of the Dali Temple suddenly saw three such people appear in broad daylight, and immediately raised their spears and surrounded them nervously.

A large number of Japanese people appeared in the Xiangji Temple case.

Although the Japanese people at that time were dressed as ordinary people, not like they dress now.

However, in the process of trying the relevant personnel, the Dali Temple had already gained a full understanding of the Japanese ninjas.

As soon as they saw these people, they knew they were not Chinese, so how could they not be as strong as the enemy?

The Japanese ninja switched to using stiff Chinese and shouted, "Call the Minister of the Supreme Court of Song to come out. We, the Japanese, have news about Xiangji Temple to report!"
